Perhaps it could have a dishwasher 😜

Lots of space, lovely quiet area. We loved the spacious garden and the bathroom downstairs.

I couldn’t get the washing machine to work. Some information on the local area might be useful. Eg restaurants, castles etc.

We were very happy with the cottage and it’s location. The host was available to answer any questions we had during our stay.

Apart from the main bed which was comfy, all of the mattresses could of been better. The front bedroom has blinds which let's in the sun, curtains would be better. Great value for money though.

heating was a little tricky to work which meant the house was very hot at night.

spacious house with lots of room. Recently refurbished. It had lovely views over fields and was not overlooked.

This is a continued review of my previous. We was offered compensation from the host about the work being carried out during our trip. £50 Once the host said he was going to transfer the money we received a text questioning us as to why we had used more than one bed, it's my understanding that if you book the whole property then you can use all the facilities, bear in mind we only used two different beds the host was not happy about this and refused to give us any compensation which has resulted in us contacting booking.com directly. I HAVE VIDEO/PHOTO PROOF OF ALL ISSUES RAISED.

I always think first impressions are the starting point for everything, in this case I should have trusted my instinct. Upon arriving at the property we were greeted by the host asking "who are you?" "Are you leaving now?" Bear in mind we had just arrived at the property. (Host had no idea we was even booked in) After entering the property it was clear there had been no cleaning done prior to our arrival, there was rubbish in garden, dust, flies and grime over the window ledges & in the kitchen, the carpets looked like they had never been cleaned & just a general mucky feel to the whole property. There was dog poo in the garden that didn't belong to our dog. Having a general look round the property it was clear it wasn't maintained well, there was a hole with damp and mould in the kitchen ceiling, there was a horrible damp smell all throughout the property. Bathrooms stunk of damp and mould & quite frankly you felt dirtier getting out the shower before you went in. Our stay sadly got worse after the check in date.. Our first full day started well with the intention to just settle into our surroundings & relax after a long day travelling the day before, around about 2:30pm we were disturbed by the host telling us he had builders arriving to do repairs to the roof, we where given NO prior notice of this. We had no choice but to agree to the work with no indication as to how long it would take or how much work needed to be done. The host could not contact us prior to the works although they did say 15 minutes before the tradesman where due to arrive that they were somehow locked out of the booking.com account hence there was no notice. The noise of the work being carried out between 3pm & going on till after 6pm. Whilst you have paying guests in the property this is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! & should be carried out inbetween bookings.

Based on my personal experience I didn't like anything about the property.

There are additional elements to add with regard to my stay at Daron Large Country cottage. Here are the points. It's really unacceptable! Faulty washing machine doesn't work mattresses poor shower 🚿 hot and cold (on and off doesn't stay at the same temp) bathroom sink cold tap not working No lock on 2 bathrooms dirty house (cobwebs, greasy oven) sofa poor cooker electric not working damp in rooms bedroom heating on as too hot bathrooms has no curtains house is outdated Uncomfortable mattress in the twin bedroom had to move to other bedroom. With the amount of money we paid, we expected a smooth stay but it wasn't, problems all over. Ruined a long journey.

where to start?! FILTHY gross dirty disgusting conditions very noisy dogs next door - manic barking until late at night very old house and needs a LOT of updating we’ll get a smart comment back from owners saying ‘why didn’t you tell us how dirty it was?!’ but when you arrive at night as a single parent in the middle of nowhere you simply don’t feel safe enough to create issues especially as they had a Ring video system spying on the house all floors minging with food from previous tenants, wee all around toilets & human pubic hair, dirty toilet seats- so so much more. dust everywhere, dirty Crockery & cutlery - the worst holiday rental i have stayed at in 30 years of being an adult

it’s spacious and in pretty village

The grass has not been cut on both the front and back garden. No BBQ as it was on the description. Had to buy one from the local shop. Could do some with some painting, especially in the sitting room.

The location and quiet area. Sensible travel distance to all attractions. Nice area with lots to do. I would recommend staying at this property.

Poor communication with the host. On our first morning the gardener showed up, interrupting breakfast, he needed access to the back garden, so we had to bring our dog in & his van blocked our car in, so we couldn't leave until he'd finished the front. The second morning breakfast was interrupted by the window cleaner, again we had to bring the dog in from the garden & close all the windows while our breakfast got cold. These things should be done between stays, if necessary during a stay it should be communicated beforehand. I messaged the owner about this but received no response. I also messaged the owner to ask if we were OK to swap the bedding from one of the upstairs room to make up the single room downstairs, as we had an elderly member of our party, it took almost 24hrs to receive a response. I do think all the rooms should've been made up in advance, we also had to bring a lamp down as there wasn't one in the downstairs bedroom. When we first arrived the smell of mould was very apparent, opening windows helped a little with this. However, one of the windows in the living room is broken, once open it cannot close unless you are tall enough to go into the garden and lift from the outside. The property was finished to a fairly poor standard & was clearly rushed, with patchy paint & mismatched furniture. The shower upstairs isn't fully connected, so you can only use the small shower hose rather than the main showerhead. The kickboards in the kitchen aren't attached properly, so they're just hanging off. But the main issue was cleanliness. Beer can, dog poo & old bones in the garden, food in the cutlery drawer, marks on many of the walls, cobwebs, dirty blinds, peeling plaster in the hall upstairs (which my dog tried to eat!), very dirty washing machine, dirty cups, drawers with various junk in them, etc.

The location is well situated in a small village, beaches/Snowdonia both around 20-30mins drive. Quiet, with the exception of the dog next door, but that can't be helped. Rooms are spacious, parking is decent & views from the house are good.

There are many issues with the property. The heating up stairs was leaking into a bowl in the bedroom, and did not work resulting in it being freezing up there. The shower didn't work properly. There was a leak in the kitchen ceiling that dripped into my food, which I then had to throw away. And the ceiling was moldy. There were cobwebs and thick dust on the lights above the dining table (not very sanitary), and while cleaning up after our dog we even picked up the dog poo that wasn't from our dog (white furry Mold on the poo) The decoration and renovations are not a good standard either. I cut my foot on the flooring between the hall and the down stairs bedroom as the door bar is missing. None of the doors close properly and the extractor fan in the kitchen does not work. We cleaned the house before leaving even putting the towels in a wash bag and emptying the bins and the owner has a cheek to complain about me bringing my daughter with me.

The property is quite old and very creaky. I felt it was a little unfinished in parts (exposed holes, wiring, rushed paint job everywhere). There was a real lack of soft furnishing… only 2 tiny lamps in the whole property (5 bedrooms) we really would’ve benefited from a lamp in the lounge. The furniture that was there didn’t match and seemed abit random like it had been thrown in. No blinds in the bathrooms (only frosted glass). The garden was overgrown and we didn’t use it. There were no instructions /welcome book (just a one page a4 in the hallway with very basic info on). I would’ve expected to see some thing about what to do with the bins, how to work the heating, where to find spare bedding etc. The worst part for me Unfortunately was a certain smell that lingered through the property. It was an unpleasant musty smell, possibly the smell of dogs? Even with windows open it was hard to escape so bare this in mind if you’re not an animal fan. Overall the property was fine but could be so much nicer with a little more love and attention. No doubt the basic interior was reflected in the price.

The positives were that the property was large with plenty of space and storage. The kitchen was well equipped. The bedding was spotless and there were plenty of towels. The carpets throughout the property were new. The parking space was ample. The property provided excellent value for money.

Stayed in June 2022

the only one thing we didn’t like about the property was that on arrival there was a smell of wet dog but only in living room and kitchen - the rest of the house smelt perfectly fine . and this went after we located all the cleaning supplies 😂

we all loved the property had so much character, it was huge , plenty of rooms and space for kids - we took 4 with us and they didn’t want to leave , best house for playing hide and seek!
